[MLB] Cubs' postseason chances are now 99% gone


Recommended Posts

what happens if there's a 4 way tie for wildcard?

i remember there was a 2 way tie between cubs and giants a few years back...do they go off of head to head record? or they just played the 1 game tiebreak?

I'm crossing my fingers my Cardinals will go all the way. I have been hoping for a

Cards/Yankees series since the 64 series!

Yeah, I'm THAT old!

:alien:

A couple of my friends went to the game today and coming from a Sox fan, I think the Cubs played a great game.

White Sox in 2005! :p

Shut up A-hole.

ha. just playin,

The cubs still have a chance but its gonna be a whole lot harder because ther are 2 other teams in contention also.

BTW, cubs had a tiebreaker game with San Fran when they tied for wild card.(Its a one-game outcome)

If there is a tie, say between the Dodgers, Giants, and Cubs. First tiebreaker would be between the Dodgers and Giants to see who would win the NL West Division. Then the winner would play the Cubs for the wildcard spot. And since the Giants won the coin toss, they would get home field advantage should the situation arise. :)

I'm going to Saturday's Astros game. I'm pumped and ready for the Wildcard!! We got the Rockies, Cubs got the Braves, and Giants play the Dodgers. On paper it would look like we hae the easiest games, but we don't play the games on paper. GO 'STROS!!!

yeah, i don't know what went wrong. if last year just went to our heads, maybe they just expected to make it there, and this time not choke, but we forgot to get there first...or if it was the injuries....

on paper we have the best team in baseball....our 5th starter has 300 wins...we have how many guys with 30+ homeruns, 4?

man, i'm so depressed...i've been sulking around all day...

and just for the record, i've been a cub fan since i was about 6 or whenever i figured out what baseball was....

at least we'll be back out of the spotlight like usual, and all the bandwagon fans from last year will leave us alone...

:cry:

    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
    • Why should simply opening the Action Center ... require any significant amount of CPU cycles? Too many are ignoring the elephant in the room: today's CPUs may have similar clock frequencies to CPUs from a decade ago (~4 to 5 GHz), but they run with far higher performance per clock, even on the smallest E-cores. The Action Center is a static, minor desktop element. It ought to open instantly on any CPU made in the past 2.5 decades at even low clocks. Opening a program? Boost away. Unzipping a file? Boost to your heart's content. Right-clicking the notification area? This should be an ultra-efficient, low-impact event that opens instantly. Compare today's UI elements to Windows 7 UI elements. Today's UI elements hardly do anything more substantial or important or critical, yet now require modern-day processors to jump half a GHz to reduce their latency.
    • This is not an option lmao: it is part of the KB5094126 update, pushed to all users. There is no GUI to configure it. Reading the article should be required for commenting.
